Roots:Coma (medical misuse of catatonic patients) The Doctor
quotes from Andrew Marvell's The Garden ("Fair quiet have I found thee
here") — it must have been those bio-domes. Mel calls Jenner "double-oh seven"

Double Entendres: It's all in the delivery, from Rossiter's "the
patients are pawing into the corridors", to say nothing of Mel's later "Jenner
told me"

Continuity: Three years have passed since the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn
were involved in Vilag's resistance against the Killoran invasion (see: Links),
and two have passed since they parted company, Evelyn having chosen to stay and
marry Rossiter, who has a daughter Sofia from his previous marriage. Rossiter
has been elected Principal Triumvir and Susskind, much reformed since the
events of the invasion, helped to draft the Triumvirate's constitution. Despite
great reconstruction debate continues among the population as to how or indeed
whether) to make use of abandoned Killoran technology, with almost 85 per cent
of the population wishing it to simply be destroyed. A memorial garden has been
created for Princess Kriztina (suggesting that the location is Galen) Szabo
appeared to be tending to the wounded Killorans, but was doing something quite
different. Despite this, was reviled by many and subject to death threats.
Sofia was 'best friends' with Kriztina.

A blade shuttle is an airborne craft which (by the sounds of it) is propelled by rotors.

Evelyn's heart condition continues despite exploratory surgery which (due to
a transfusion of Killoran DNA overwhelming her system) has instead given her
severe migraines and increasingly uncontrollable irritability. She has taken
Rossiter's name.

Mel has heard all about Evelyn before from the Doctor, though they've not
met (the Doctor told her that she left him to run off with a man, but not the
full circumstances of their parting). She doesn't think she has ever really
been in love before. Mel always was good with dogs. The Doctor has in the past
recommended Evelyn to her as a calming and balancing influence on himself.

The Doctor claims that his Gallifreyan immune system can rapidly manufacture
antibodies against foreign material, which can then be introduced safely into
Evelyn's system.

The Seventh Doctor shows Evelyn a photograph of his new travelling
companion, Hex, aka 'Tommy', the son of the ill-fated Cassie (see: Links). He
claims that, unusually, Hex just happened to stumble across him, and chose to
travel with him of his own volition.

Untelevised Adventures: Evelyn and the Doctor "eventually" visited
the court of Elizabeth I. At the beginning of this story he and Mel have just
saved a group of colonists on a planet with moors.

Location: Vilag (Galen), three years after the events of Arrangements for War.

The Bottom Line: Earnest, but not a complicated story. Mel inevitably
has little to do but be punched, slapped and pushed down a lift shaft. There's
timely and good closure for Evelyn though, and the unbilled Seventh Doctor
cameo is a nice touch.
